The location is great, just a 10-minute walk from the bus hub, and everything is very clean. This is the first hostel I’ve stayed at where the cleaner works at night to tidy up the common room. The room had plenty of space for everyone.
I stayed here for 2 nights and booked an 8-bed female dorm. When I checked in at 1 pm, I was assigned to a 4-bed dorm on the 2nd floor. At first, I was the only one there, but a man arrived at 10 pm. I checked with reception, and they apologized for the mistake and moved me to a 4-bed female dorm on the 1st floor.
I felt uncomfortable because I was getting ready to sleep and didn’t expect to share a room with a man, as I had booked a female dorm. Moving all my belongings after unpacking was also inconvenient.
My second room was still a 4-bed female dorm, even though I had booked an 8-bed dorm.
I’m not sure why this happened, but I wanted to share my experience to help the hostel avoid similar issues in the future.

叶叶Good, you can see a kangaroo at night, you can cook, free parking, a good choice for self-driving tour
GGuest UserThe friends we went to from the airport were very convenient. It would be great if we took a taxi directly. Then the front desk service was very friendly. We stayed in so many hotels and felt that the price performance of the hotel was very high. Recommended
Llucia_celesteThis motel is very good and you can prepare your own meals inside. We went to the supermarket and bought all the ingredients, and then my son made a delicious meal.
